In March 2024, the company announced that effective March 25, it would end its legacy [[Associated Press]] premium subscription, meaning it would no longer pay to publish AP dispatches, photos and video from the wire service in Gannett-owned publications.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Korach |first=Natalie |date=2024-03-19 |title=Gannett to Halt Use of AP Content in its Publications |url=https://www.thewrap.com/gannett-drops-ap-associated-press-usa-today/ |access-date=2024-03-19 |website=TheWrap |language=en-US}}</ref> According to a statement from the company, this decision, regarded by observers as a cost-cutting move, "will give us the opportunity to redeploy more dollars toward our teams and build capacity where we might have gaps."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Korach |first1=Natalie |title=USA Today Publisher Gannett to Drop Associated Press Content Across All Publications |url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/usa-today-publisher-gannett-drop-172126799.html |access-date=March 19, 2024 |publisher=Yahoo News |date=March 19, 2024}}</ref>
In that same memo, Gannett said it signed an agreement with [[Reuters]] to publish the newswire's global content. Gannett will continue to pay AP for it's election-related polling and vote-counting, and pay to access the [[AP Stylebook]]. Gannet's contract with AP was set to expire at the end of 2024. It is unclear why the company ended the agreement early or how much it was paying AP.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bauder |first=David |date=2024-03-19 |title=Gannett news chain says it will stop using AP content for first time in a century |url=https://apnews.com/article/gannett-associated-press-contract-97405e4715c9a25d21477b992028db2a |access-date=2024-03-19 |website=Associated Press |language=en}}</ref>
